25 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | September 2015 | The Inland Empire Magazine article "The New You" reported in their July, 2015 issue, "To shape up and slim down, bite into a healthy lifestyle focused on consuming fewer calories, making informed food choices and getting regular daily activity." "Daily physical activity is a crucial part of everyone's healthy lifestyle, but unfortunately most of us don't include enough movement in our daily routines," says registered dietitian and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson Jennifer McDaniel. "Most health benefits come from at least 150 minutes a week of moderately intense physical activity, with added advantages from increased exercise and intensity. A physically active lifestyle offers you many rewards, from a slimmer body to a healthy heart. And these physical benefits are only the beginning. Additional advantages include stress relief, better sleep and even a more positive mental outlook." "Walk Fit" Exercise Club offers you 180 minutes a week of low impact aerobic activity. You can tailor the class to your own needs and schedule. The full 1 hour class (three times a week) is a four mile walk, but you can join us for as much as will work for you. You can leave early or arrive later to shorten your walk. If you can only be there one or two days a week, that's okay too. New members are always welcome. Join us Mon., Wed. and Fri. from 7:45 to 8:45 am in the Lodge Ballroom (for the full hour). Men and women are welcome. Plus it's free! Info., Karen Tuvim at (951) 599-4236 or Kay Masonbrink at (951) 223-3047. "Walk-Fit" Exercise Club Is my memory normal? In recent years, scientists have learned that the brain is an exquisitely sensitive organ, growing and shrinking like a coral reef in response to its environment. We want to share some valuable suggestions for a stronger memory: 1. Learn Something: stimulating the brain helps it develop a resilience that allows us to fight off diseases like Alzheimer's; 2. Sleep: getting fewer than six hours of sleep a night can raise the risk of stroke; 3. Eat Right: more than half your plate should be filled with green leafy vegetables; eat plenty of fish, nuts and olive oil, steer clear of refined carbs; 4. Challenge yourself: memorize three names a day – such as announcers on TV, persons in your company or a key player on your favorite sports team; 5. Walk: A cardiovascular workout with a friend gives stress relieving social interaction and mentally stimulating conversation; and 6. Meditate: reduced anxiety improves blood flow to the brain. The Apples, Pears and Hourglasses program covers many excellent and interesting subjects. Our club is designed to help individuals who would like to establish better eating habits and health practices. We call it "Lifestyle Changes." We meet on Wednesdays at 9 am in the Lodge Multipurpose Room. Come join us! If you have questions regarding our program, please call Dave and Karen Tuvim at 599-4236.
